Casablanca

This is one of the greatest movies of the "good war" and all times. I have seen it a lot of times. The DVD came in an excellent condition and in time. Thanks! I know what I am talking about because in my 73 years old I have been journalist and writer. I am Juan Alborna-Salado but some friends call me "the Cuban American Hemingway".

A timeless tale set on the coast of West Africa, the action, love, and suspense cannot be ignored or forgotten. Two lovers torn apart by a twist of fate years ago in Paris are reunited in Casablanca. Their meeting is a mess of bad timing, life-altering secrets, and unmistakable passion. Can they be united forever? Can love conquer all? Casablanca is a backdrop where these questions are tested while the lives of many hang in the balance. A superb performance by both Bogart and Bergman, this classic will last through the ages as one of the best love stories the world has ever known.

This item was really great with all the additional options and I gave it to my sister for a birthday present. I wish I got a copy of it for myself when I opened it and I told her so. That made her want it even more, well what can you do it was a great present for a movie but and I would recommend it to anyone who like old movies with snappy dialog. It is a very clever move.

As a Casablanca fan, I wanted the best DVD version possible. I consequently ordered the Blu-ray version expecting a substantially improved version as compared to earlier releases. Unfortunately, this was not the case. The Blu-ray version is not noticeably better than the earlier versions. For someone who has an earlier version, I seriously question whether it is worth spending the money on the Blu-ray version. For someone who does not have an earlier version, it is a judgment call as to whether is worth getting the additional materials.

The Casablanca Ultimate Collector's Edition is something that anyone who enjoys classic cinema must have as a part of their collection. The quality of the Blu-ray DVD is outstanding, but it is the other parts of the collection that truly make this package an outstanding value. I am so glad that I made it a part of my collection.
